BAG-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 782,179, dated February'7, 1905.

Application filed July 19, 1902. Renewed January 4, 1.905. Serial No.239,657.

To (t/Z (viz/0m 7'1 nmy concern:

Be it known that 1, LEON SARR, a citizen of the United States, residingat Ceylon, in the county of Erie and State of Ohio, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Bag-Holders, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The invention relates to bag-holders; and the object of the same is toprovide a simple and inexpensive device which can be attached to anyfixed or movable object-such as a door. wall, truck, or adjustablesupportand will hold the bag distended in a position convenient forfilling the same and when not in use it may be dropped out of the way.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations ofthe same. as will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed out inthe claim.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is an end view of the holder in aposition to receive the bag to be filled. Fig. 2 is a front View of thesame with the distending-loop in section. Fig. 3 is a top view of theholder with distending-loop and clamping-loop in a position forreceiving the bag. Fig. at is a front view of the device when not inuse. Fig. 5 is an end view of the same when not in use.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the different views.

The lugs A and A are made so as to be attachable to any object in anymanner that the operator may elect. These lugs are provided with hooksA" for holding the rear part of the bag and also with thesupporting-lugs A, in which are notches A" for holding thedistending-loop and clamping-loop in position. in lug A is fastened arod C, which passes across and through the lug A and extends a shortdistance beyond it. The rod C is enlarged at the projecting end, bywhich means the distendingdoo D is kept from sliding off said rod. Thedistending-loop D is a semicircular piece which is pivoted loosely onthe rod C, so as to permit of free lateral movement on said rod. At thepoint D on the distending-loop D is pivoted a clamping-loop E, which hasthe same general shape as the distending-loop and closely fitting thesame. At the front of the holder the piece forming the clamping-loop Eis provided with a small handle E, by which the clamping-loop is raisedand lowered.

Normally the device hangs as shown in Figs. 4: and To use thebag-holder. the clamping-loop E and the distcnding-loop D are raisedhigh enough to be shifted on rod (1 toward-lug A and lowered intonotches A in the supporting-lugs A, which securely holds thedistending-loop and the clamping-loop in a position to receive the bag.The clampingloop E is then raised and one side of the bag is stretchedon the hooks A, while the other side of the bag is brought up and overthe distcnding-loop D. The clamping-loop E is then brought down over thebag and distending-loop D, thus securely holding the bag in the desireddistended position. To detach the bag, the clamping-loop E is raised bythe handle E and the bag is then easily taken off the hooks A and fromthe holder.

This device as above described is attachable to any kind of anadjustable support, as shown in Figs. 4 and The lugs A and A may beattached to a supporting-piece H, which is arranged to be adjustable ina tubular piece G and is held at any desired height by a thumbscrew K. 1do not wish to confine myself to this form of adjustable support, as itis plainly evident that the device may be adjustably supported inseveral different ways.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent" In a bag-holder, lugs suitably supported, said lugscarrying simporting-lugs and having hooks, a rod attached to the lugs, aloop having its ends pivoted and slidable on the rod whereby the loopmay be moved into and out of engagement with the supporting-lugs, and aclamping loop pivoted to the firstnamed loop, substantially asdescribed.
